About Me!
Hello Everyone!!! I am a Junior from Chicago, IL with an Environmental Studies-BS & Spanish Double Major with a Data Science Minor. I am just a 1st Gen Latinx Student who has a passion for environmental injustices and has a passion for solving all problems that come across me. My particular interest lies in GIS and Statistical Analysis where I study environmental injustices in spatial relationships and theorize ways to fix the problems that marginalized communities face. I also like to study many Gender and Sexuality topics in Latinx and Spaniard Cultures which hone in my people
Outside of academics, I am a Program Coordinator for the Center for Public Service, a First Gen Mentor at the Office for Multicultural Engagement, and a part of the Environmental Studies Student advisory Council. Everything I do in Gettysburg is intertwined and I try and input it all in the work I do in the greater Gettysburg Area. Apart from that, I am a member of the Latin American Student Association, and volunteer with College Prep, El Centro, and Adult ESL.
